British F1 star embarrassed by acting debut

Lewis Hamilton has admitted that his Turkish GP PR stunt acting debut was a total embarrassment. “Let’s forget about that,” the McLaren driver said when asked about his cameo in a dramatic re-enactment of the Siege of Troy on Thursday in Istanbul.

Cast in the role of the Greek god Apollo, Hamilton descended from the rafters on a wire to break up a fight between warriors. “I just turned up and got on with what I was told to do but now I’ve seen the footage and it’s one of the worst things I’ve ever seen,” said the red-faced speedster.
